I think it's especially important to learn the meanings and applications of words like these early on. It's becoming very common for even native speakers to misuse words like the ones mentioned above due to laziness and general apathy towards proper usage. However, I understand that those just starting out wouldn't necessarily get these details right away, but they still need to be reinforced.

i disagree. english of today is not about grammar. it is about the ever expanding image of cultural or economic-capitalist force in a united form of speech and reading. let us try to be descriptive. english is not a language anymore it is a 100% certified commodity, a product in an infomercial.
